Mr.. Wagcnhauser, the brewer of the
Dallas Brewery was in the Mayors
court this morning charged with vio-
ating the Sunday law by selling beer
in twelve instances.
Mr. Wagenhauscr said he would
plead guilty in one case but no more.
The city attorney said that that
would not cover the case and that he
proposed to prosecute in each case.
The mayor was inclined to be char
liable, and stated that il had been the
custom in the county court when there
were several cases against one man a
compromise was made, and If the ac-
cused plead guilty in two or three
cases, the other cases were dismissed
and thought that in this instance the
accused should be dealt with accord
ingly. Mr. Obenchain differed with
his honor: the man had committed
the oficnsc eleven times after he had
been warned by the officers and he
had defied the law.
The mayor stated that Mr.. Wagon
hauscr had come to Dallas with $685.
600 and invested it and had lost. and
that few days ago, when his child
died, he had to put up his watch to
procure money to defray the funeral
expenses, and he hoped the city attor-
ney would not insist upon prosecuting
the twelve cases, and would fine the
accused thirty dollars and dismiss the
rest of the cases, but Mr.. Obenchain
would not have it so, and insisted up
OH proceeding with the trial, remarking
that claws are established to prevent
crime however after conviction in
three cases had been had, the city at
torney, examining the balance Of the
aflldavits, consented to dismiss the re-
naming cases; so it cost Mr.. Wagon
hauser $50 to violate the Sunday law.

The New Sunday Paper.

The Sunday Chronicle madeit first
appearance last Sunday in eight pages,
handsomely printed and well gotten

sirous of such literature. The HER

At the Opera House.

Miss Louise Rial, as Coralia Loriat,
the Partisan dansense was even better
than was expected. She is piquant
and graceful aud captivating--as such
she can scarcely be excclled. Her
conception of the character. so far as
we can judge, is correct aud the pow
err, passion and pathos which
she throws into the Character
places her upon the highest plane as
an emotional actress. ier passion
and love is 80 great that she rises 10
the very eight or depth, as you
please, as she nears the denoaement-
attempting to murder her husband
before he shall wed the one he loves
with his whole heart-thi acting is
grand. and, notwithstanding the criti-
cism of a morning paper. Miss Rails
acting Is superb, compared t. some
said paper has praised.
Called Back" will be produced to-
night. This is considered Miss Rails
iaVoritc pla, in her repertoire. The
attendance tonight should be large,
considering the popularity of the
play aud the TACT that it will be id
mirably presented.

tain his position. Mr.. Obenchain,
maintained that the affidavit was cor

ed as a firm and referred to provis-

The mayor concluded that firm

Tho street railway muddle contin-

well represented in the injunction suit.
The Dallas Street Railway Company
falls back IL on its charter ed rights,
and holds to them. 1t is evident that
that is the ground upon which they
hope to stand in their suit with the

has forfeited this right by taking up

Mr.. j. Howell, paper hanger, got
tired yesterday afternoon and climbed
INTO box car at the Santa Fe depot to

came about dark to lock the car, and
about to shut Mr.. Howell in for the
night, not knowing that gentleman
had gone to bed, Mr.. Howell hastily
came from his corner and said he
would get out first, tho Waterman
looked at him and concluded that as
he had no place to sleep he would take
him to the calaboose, where he (How-

Mayor John Henry Brown looked him
over and heard his statement which

Courtesy in Business.

1t is che opinion of many that
courtesy in business is of little con
sequence, arguing that in oiierine
their merchandise to the public they
propose to give them the full Val'ss
Of their money, which is all they
have right to expect. They claim
that their alterations are not Tor sale,
and imagine they are violating then
own dignity and self-respect and hu
initiating their pride to extend conr-
tesy without auy reference to then
goods. Business men should b'
aware that a trihe OF this commodl
~ thrown in with their merchandise
will yield large returns. There is 4"
constant struggle and continuing
eomnetition for the lead in business,
and it behooves men to adopt all
honorable means to draw trade to
their places Of business. Of course
we do not mean they should go to
extremes do ought that would be
degrading, for there is vast differ
ence between fawning and ciylhty,
Kind words will not only subdue
wrath, but elevate us in the estlma-
ton of those with whom we are
brought in connection, and makes as
friends and patrons, Goodwin IS a
recognized stock in business, and Is :
the result of fair-dealing and kind
treatment, People are fond OF be-
ing entertained, and he who does not 'f'.
regard the tastes and feelings of
mankind will be compelled to yield,
the palm to his more courteous COM
| petitors. gta-~-
